Description: "College honors student Sarie Holland is busted by the local police while doing a favor for her new boyfriend. Unwilling to betray him but desperate to avoid destroying her future, Sarie has no choice but to become a 'CI' - a confidential informant. She turns out to be the perfect CI: a quick study with a shockingly keen understanding of the criminal mind.

Sarie is subsequently plunged into chaos: hunted by crooked cops and killers alike, she has nothing to save her except what she's learned during her harrowing weeks as an informant.
